For those who are wondering when Internet retail is going to go mainstream, it’s already too late.Over 10,000,000 Australians purchased something online last year – that’s a significant portion of the adult population of this country.This trend, which is reflected across the planet to a greater or lesser degree, has been strongly building for the last decade. In 2012, global online sales climbed around 50% to $1.3 Trillion, with the US leading the charge at $365 Billion and Australia a respectable $36 Billion. That’s over $3,500 spent by each one of those Australian shoppers, second only to the UK in terms of individual spend.It is this amount of money spent by each consumer which has driven the growth. Customers who might have bought something only once or twice online in the previous 12 months, are now committing to multiple and higher value purchases. With the high Australian dollar, there’s plenty of travelling to do and that’s a key driver of this figure. My 80-year-old mother books her planes and accommodation on her iPad – like I’m saying, this is no longer a geeky fad.It’s happening across the board as more and more industries and market niches lift their online performance and persuade their customers to trust them from a distance. That’s always going to be a struggle, but it’s easier now that consumers are more experienced with the overall industry. New brands are emerging, and while it’s not clear which will survive, and which of the established brands will falter, what we do know is that there will be significant change.There are still some horror stories, and plenty of willingness from vested (or merely conservative) interests to emphasise the negative ahead of the positive. But the sheer number of Australians, who are involved in this way of doing business, shows that consumers are becoming increasingly satisfied with the convenience and reliability of online stores.As a company that has been selling online to the public for almost 8 years, we certainly appreciate the loyalty of our customers as our business has evolved and grown

You can get goods at 40 to 80 per cent off the retail price. The only catch is they come with a bit of history.Rob Evans is the founder of www.ALLBIDS.com.au an online auction house that amongst other things, sells goods on behalf of the Australian Federal Police. That’s items seized in raids, impounded or found to be the proceeds of crime.“People just come in and get a bargain,” Evans said.“This is Aladdin’s cave, even Ali Baba would be impressed! We’ve got everything, camera lenses, cameras, blackberry phones.”“The police have got to send these items to public auction so we’re just a vehicle for that.”“You see the odd crow bar come through as well and it’s obviously been used in crime, it’s probably a cheap way for people to pick up cheap tools isn’t it!”You can score yourself a mobile phone for $13 or a camera for $20. Some items are near new, others are still in the box.“Apart from the billiard table we’ve sold almost everything from army tanks down to jewellery and everything in between. You just never know what you’re gonna get,” Evans said.“When you’ve got high end items worth $50,000 to 60,000 some people walk away with $20,000 to 30,000,” Evans said.The same goes at Ross’ auction house in Perth. There are so many seized items to clear out they hold a police auction every six weeks.“We get everything from brand new motorcycles, high-end sports cars, Hi-Fi equipment, Playstations, anything you can think of that can be stolen recovered, forfeited and seized,” Matt from Ross’ said.A Honda motorbike will go under the hammer with just three kilometres on the clock – apparently the owner was arrested as he drove out of the dealership.And it’s not only stolen property that people are wanting to get their hands on. Another market is lost property. Ever wondered where your jacket or watch ends up if you lose it on a train or bus, and forgot to claim it? Just ask Michelle House from www.secretbudget.net.“Sometimes companies do lost property auctions, like Australia Post, some of the airlines some of the train lines,” House said. “A really good buy from a lost property auction would be picking up a phone for $10 that might be in the shop for $750.”She says while you can save, beware, you’re also taking a risk. Many goods don’t come with a warranty and delivery cost is another consideration.“You need to add up all of those and make sure you’re still getting that bargain.”Around the country, some transport companies hold their own lost property auctions advertised in the local paper. But not every company is alike.Forget to claim your lost property on a Qantas flight, and it doesn’t go to charity. After a period of time staff get a chance to bid for it. Lost property in taxis, if unclaimed after 24 hours, can be scooped up by the driver if the owner isn’t tracked down. Then there are auctions for repossessed items.“A repossessed item is where somebody has had a judgement enforced and the item has been repossessed and can go up for sale to the public,” House said.Bailiff Sheriff Australia is an online directory for these auctions held in every state. Camper vans, furniture and even whole apartments can go for a third of the price.“You can jump on and be a subscriber and find out when auctions are. You could also do that through the other websites like the public trustee in your state and jump on there be a subscriber,” House said.

Pegasus (formerly Pegasus Riding School for the Disabled) hit troubled times recently and looked like it might have to close its doors. However thanks to the formidable generousity of the Canberran community Pegasus shall ride on. They even got a giant cheque, which has always been a dream of mine.A large portion of those funds was raised in an online auction hosted by local company Allbids.com.au of a kitchen supplied by Knebel Kitchens and donated by a MIX 106.3 listener. The auction raised $13,050.00 and added to the donations already made by the Tom Efkarpidis Foundation, Thoroughbred Park, Granite Transformations and Blackett Homes plus funds raised at the Black Opal Canberra Cup meeting and Rod & Biggzy’s Ride for Pegasus.These funds have guaranteed that Pegasus will remain operating until at least December and allow in the meantime the organisation to develop further revenue streams and long term partnerships which will ensure its long-term future.This article was first published on The Riot ACT Website by Barcham https://the-riotact.com/pegasus-saved-by-canberran-kindness/99100

The Brumbies have named their side for Saturday’s epic clash with the hated NSW Waratahs.The University of Canberra Brumbies have named their side to face the Waratahs this Saturday night, with Henry Speight making a return from rib bruising to take his place on the wing.Headlining selection talk along with Speight will be George Smith, who makes his first appearance for the University of Canberra Brumbies since 2010 from the bench.Speight and Smith are the only changes to the team which beat the Rebels two weeks ago in Melbourne.And with Pat McCabe and Josh Mann-Rea named to face the Tongan A side later on Thursday, Head Coach Jake White has 35 fit players to chose from for the first time since he joined the club at the end of 2011.In Speight’s place Joe Tomane moves to the bench, with Tevita Kuridrani dropping out of the game-day 22. As the Australian Conference’s top try-scorer in 2012, Speight will be looking to add to his total against the Waratahs after scoring two five-pointers from as many games last year.Since 2001, Smith has lost just one game against the Waratahs at Canberra Stadium. That was way back in 2005 and while he hasn’t been involved in this fixture since 2010, Head Coach Jake White was confident his newest player would want to keep that record intact.“To have a player of George’s quality wanting to come to the Brumbies says a lot about our organisation and where we are heading,” White said.“George is a player who aligns himself with quality brands and winning teams. George is a proven winner. He’s won big games here in Australia and overseas so we are looking to use that experience and attitude here at the Brumbies.“In the context of the season this is a big game for us. It’s great to have Henry back in the starting side after he missed the game against the Rebels. Henry scores a lot of tries and we will need him to be at his best on Saturday night.”University of Canberra Brumbies players will wear a once off Centenary Strip on Saturday, with all 22 match-day jerseys available for auction on allbids.com.au as of Thursday afternoon.University of Canberra Brumbies1.

Allbids have announced they’re going to be auctioning off whole abandoned storage units:Similar to the concept behind the popular U.S television series Storage Wars, Storage Showdown sees the entire contents of abandoned storage units going up for unreserved online auction on www.allbids.com.au. Whilst major items within these units can be identified (e.g. whitegoods or furniture), it’s the hidden items – for example, those stored in boxes or behind major objects – where the mystery begins.“Potential buyers can inspect the units at the storage facility, but they can’t sift through the boxes,” said Richard Hume, Chief Operations Officer of ALLBIDS. “What treasures might be hidden away there is anyone’s guess.”“It could be electronics, antiques, jewellery or books. It could be art supplies, old university essays, camping equipment or CDs. It could be junk, or goods of incredible value. Either way, you’ll never know unless you have a go,” he explained.The first Storage Showdown saw three abandoned units from Capital Self Storage sold on www.allbids.com.au. These contained items such as a flat-screen TV, an esky, fans, skis, a ladder, a set of weights, furniture, as well as mysterious boxes of miscellaneous goods.“We will have around 8-12 storage units up for grabs each month, and with each of these unreserved auctions, bidders are in the running to grab a bargain, make some cash on re-sales, or at least have a great story to tell,” said Richard.Each auction goes for one week on www.allbids.com.au. Prospective buyers are encouraged to inspect the unit, which they can do up until two days before the auction closes. Once the auction is closed, everything must be removed by the successful bidder. ALLBIDS is offering special terms to re-market saleable goods that are not wanted by the successful buyer.This article was first published on The Riot ACT Website by Johnboy https://the-riotact.com/abandoned-storage-units-yours-to-gawk-at-and-bid-on/94574

Unfortunately online shopping can sometimes be fraught with pitfalls, but follow our top 10 tips to keep you safe.1. Know the business. Buy only from websites you know and trust. Check that the company has a physical address and phone number. If the company operates from overseas, you might have trouble getting a refund or repair if required.2. Know the product. Ensure the product is legal and will work in Australia. Check that any warranties or guarantees offered are valid in Australia and that an authorised repairer is close by.3. Check the contract. Carefully read the terms and conditions, refund policy, delivery details and policies on costs associated with returns and repairs.4. Check the full cost. Be aware of the full cost of your purchase, including currency conversion, taxes, delivery fees, packaging and postage. After adding these costs, it may be cheaper to buy locally.5. Protect your privacy. Only buy online from a company if you are satisfied with their privacy policy. Do not provide additional information that the company does not need for the sale.6. Confirm the order. The business should enable you to confirm or reject your order before paying.7. Keep records. Print your order before and after you confirm. Write down any reference numbers, and print any receipts that display on screen or are emailed to you. Depending on the type of payment used, check your credit card statement, merchant account (such as PayPal) or bank account to ensure you have been charged correctly.8. Pay securely. Use only websites that your browser recognises as secure. A secure address begins with https:// or an image of a padlock will appear in the bottom right corner of your browser window.9. Resolve problems. When problems occur, immediately contact the business and try to resolve them. Most online shopping and auction sites provide a dispute resolution process to facilitate communication between the buyer and seller. If you are unhappy with the response, you can make a complaint to us.10. Look out for scams. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.In short, do not provide your bank account, credit card number or other personal details unless you are positive the trader is reputable.

Menslink

Allbids provide an outstanding service to charities like Menslink in a number of ways.

Firstly, Allbids helps us reach audiences well beyond the capacity of Menslink. We’re a very small charity, but having their online platform enables us to achieve much better results than what’s possible with our own resources. At our last auction - which raised over $100,000 for us - we had bidders from all around Australia bid on our items - Allbids managed the payments and collection for us without any issues.

Secondly, Allbids staff were on hand during our Big Night Out to manage the whole process - setting out the displays, helping guests at tables bid for silent auction, managing payments - they couldn't have been more helpful.

Finally, Allbids are always available for the items that we might get to auction from time to time - nothing is too much trouble for them.

Their support for Menslink - and other charities - over the years has been fantastic. They've helped promote our work to their clients, helped us raise far more money from auction items than we could have alone or on other platforms and have been a delight to work with. I could not recommend them more highly and hope to continue the partnership for many years to come

Karinya House

I am writing to extend our sincere appreciation to ALLBids for their recent support of our 2017 Karinya House Annual Mother’s Day Gala Dinner, held on 5 May 2016. We especially thank Jo, Louise and the ALLBIDS staff who assisted with the online auction pages for Karinya House. The support also provided by Jo, Louise and the team at the event itself and post the event to finalise the auction was also outstanding and so greatly appreciated.

Karinya House for Mothers and Babies is a community based, not for profit organisation serving the ACT and surrounding regions. In its twentieth year of operation, Karinya provides supported accommodation and outreach services to pregnant and parenting women in crises and their children. In August 2016 Karinya, with specialist funding for construction from the ACT Government, opened its new Home and transitioned to our purpose-built facility, doubling residential capacity, and creating a designated area for specialised outreach and group services. This new facility, whilst significantly enhancing service delivery, has also increased our annual operating budget.

This is the first year we have had the availability of an Online Auction House to support the Gala Dinner. The Gala Dinner is our premier fundraising event, and it is vital to us that the event generates as much financial support as possible. We were unaware prior to be contacting by Louise, that ALLBIDS offered the Online Auction service to Not for Profit Organisations entirely free of any sales commissions or other fees and charges. We were somewhat apprehensive, as is the case with something new and untried at times, but Louise and Jo, at our first meeting were completely assured that the ALLBIDS service would be fantastic and easy. They, and the ALLBIDS processes and outcomes, did not disappoint. And the whole ALLBIDS experience and result far exceeded our expectations!

As a community based organisation, it is important to note, that we generate around half of our operating revenue each year through financial donations and sponsorships from Corporates, Philanthropic Trusts & Foundations, local businesses, individuals and families. In addition we are supported through pro bono professional services as well as in kind material donations.

The support of ALLBIDS through their Charity & Community Auctions service is an outstanding and innovative form of community engagement. ALLBIDS are to be congratulated on providing this wonderful service and supporting community service organisations such as Karinya House. I am pleased to confirm that for Karinya House, the addition of ALLBIDS as part of our Gala Dinner Event and Team (sorry we are claiming your team as part of our team now!) made a significant difference to the fundraising proceeds from the auction component of our Gala Dinner. Proceeds from the Auction were 73% higher than the prior year’s Gala Dinner. This is outstanding, and it certainly gives us impetus to source a greater number of donations for next year’s Gala Dinner Auctions.

We are very thankful to have ALLBIDS as part of our Karinya family. We do hope this partnership will be one we can rely on for future events. Please extend our thanks to the ALLBIDS Board, Executive and Staff Team for the support provided for the 2017 Gala Dinner. I commend ALLBIDS for their demonstrated professional competence, experience, and dedication, as well as their generosity and example in corporate citizenship and care for some of the most vulnerable women and children in our community.

Car Purchase

I bought my son a ford laser on here and although it was older (1991) I didn't expect much for our $1200 spent ! Especially considering it had 12months rego. I couldn't have had a more pleasant surprise ! It's a pearler and we found out later my folks new the owner and he was a mechanic who lived opposite them and he nurtured it. It had service books up to date and it runs so so well, uses no oil or water and has brand new tyres ! It's a 1.8 ghia too . The paint is great and the interior is as new . Needless to say my son loves it and has already fitted some nice alloy wheels and a kick ass stereo. The car is Worth twice what we paid for it at retail Level ! All bids rock. Thanks !!!! This is a true testimonial by a real customer !!! I'm not the type to do this either BUT was just so impressed.

No hesitation recommending ALLBIDS service

I approached Allbids to assist me to liquidate the plant and equipment owned by one of my clients. The client owned and operated a quarry on the outskirts of Canberra

Following an illness the client needed to completely restructure their business, which resulted in client selling off all the business assets

Due to the size and scale of the operation all the equipment was sold from the existing location. This saved the client valuable time and money by not having to pay removal costs and freight.

Allbids took complete control of the whole operation and used their extensive database to access buyers. The complete process was seamless with Allbids managing all inspections, enquiries, delivery and logistics whilst providing me with a complete audit trail for each asset sold.

I have no hesitation in recommending the services of Allbids. They turned the surplus assets of our client into cash.

Recent car purchase

I bought an excellent Subaru L1800 wagon via Allbids' auction site, and I want to report back that the car was in excellent condition, as described. The photos were accurate and showed what I needed to see as a potential buyer. We were able to inspect the car on location, including starting it and letting it run, and testing the clutch and brakes.

The staff were friendly and helpful. For me, this was a really good experience all around, and I recommend Allbids unreservedly to potential bidders.

Allbids is a brilliant website/service

I would like to say that Allbids is a brilliant website/service. For our
family it serves as a valuable resource in locating goods we need to buy, as
well as purchasing some great bargains. It has been a fantastic way for me to
make some extra cash by selling unwanted goods that we no longer use.

Furnished with items purchased from Allbids

We are building a house and also renovating two existing cottages on a rural property. We have found Allbids to be an excellent source of materials for the renovation job - the cottages will be largely furnished with items purchased from Allbids, and we are using recycled building materials and tools - many of which are also from Allbids.

It will be 12 months before the projects are finished but I will send you photos when complete - might be useful as an example of what can be achieved with the services of Allbids. Thanks again

Spreading the word to every one

I just wanted to tell you what a wonderful job Allbids is doing and that I am still spreading the word to every one I know! Allbids is providing a service that has been needed for a while and it seems to be getting better all the time!
